Regional Cooperation & Multilateral Relations

In an era of deepening globalization, regional cooperation and multilateral relations serve as essential mechanisms for addressing global challenges, driving economic growth, and maintaining political stability. As a vital engine of global growth and a strategic anchor in Asia, India plays an increasingly pivotal role in regional and international multilateral frameworks. Particularly within the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, India must strike a deliberate balance between maintaining strategic autonomy and fostering collaborative partnerships amid an increasingly complex international landscape. Our research focuses on how India exerts its unique influence in regional economic integration, international security cooperation, and transnational platforms, exploring how effective foreign policy and strategic deployment can achieve regional stability and economic development under the shadow of intensifying US-China competition.
